Your most recent item purchased online?

[Catchawave]

I love shopping online, it saves me time, trouble, and yes, money.

The last item I purchased:

A children's sized picnic table w/umbrella for my 2 year old twin grandgirlies in Florida. Found it through Amazon's Toys link, and it was fabulous, no tax, shipping was less than if I bought and dragged this item to the local UPS Store to package and send.

I love shopping online. Mostly for books, cds and dvds,and travel related stuff, but may be moving up to bigger items based on better selections available outside my little live shopping world !

1. We bought a new 'Polarus' for the pool via e-Bay;

saved $200!

[Catchawave]

12. eBay is wonderful for major purchases!

I've known many people who bought/sold cars that way and are very happy with the results.

[ClassWarrior]

2. The Very Best of Curtis Mayfield.

Still on its way.

NGU.

[Catchawave]

13. I bet you saved some $ too !

I'm getting ready to buy the movie version of Phantom of the Opera online, because I can't find the full screen version anywhere locally!

[ET Awful]

3. It was probably something photography related.

I think maybe an external flash for the camera.

[MADem]

6. Union-made jeans at nosweatapparel.com!

My wife and I are doing tons of our shopping online lately to get the union-made, fair-trade alternative.

I just bought my 4th pair of jeans at No Sweat Apparel, they are very good, well-cut jeans and I recommend you buy some, they're only 35.50!
Small price to pay for no sweat!

[Catchawave]

15. Thanks for sharing the nosweat link !

Bookmarked and will definitely check it out. I just get so depressed reading country of origin labels when I'm out shopping, I get out of the spending mood !

Here's another good site: http://www.ecomall.com/

8. Filters

for my breathing machine. The place here wants $15 apiece for them, online I can get them for $1.95 each.

[Catchawave]

16. That's great you can find your filters online.....

and saving money.

I'm a huge fan of Drugstore.com, where you can buy anything you can buy in the local pharmacy for almost half the price. And less embarrassing too for, um, personal products :)

[undeterred]

9. I just order a trashcan sinatras CD

because I'm hooked and I couldn't find it anywhere.

[tyedyeto]

10. Car parts...

turn signal light, headlight adjuster and headlight moulding.

[kodi]

11. $ to andy

.

[Catchawave]

20. Much easier to donate online too!

I think our compassionate giving online is the ultimate benefit of sharing our personal wealth. In fact, sending money for a cause makes me feel better than a new DVD purchase!

Internet shopping/donating may just change the way spending money makes us feel good :) Like, if feel crappy, instead of buying a new pair of shoes (which I don't NEED), I send $ to the local animal shelter. Speak of feel GOOD spending!

[NewJeffCT]

32. My most recent, too

Money for Andy's surgery.

Though, I may try for an eBay auction in a few minutes...

[Misunderestimator]

17. Just a few minutes ago had to buy a new cell phone...

the phone I have and had service for in Florida is no longer supported, so therefore, they cannot switch my service for that phone. :mad: What a racket.

[GOPisEvil]

19. If I ever move, I'll have to do the same thing.

Thanks a lot AT&T/Cingular. :mad:

[Misunderestimator]

24. and Verizon...

The good part is that I have never used even half the minutes in my plan, so I chose a different plan that's half the minutes and nearly half the price. Most of my cell calls are short or "in network" (and free), so I didn't need 900 minutes a month. Sooo... after a year, the new phone pays for itself, or something like that.

This has got to be my tenth cell phone :crazy:

[GOPisEvil]

27. Hehehe...I've owned more than my share.

I was so proud when I could finally park in my garage. The first morning I went out to my car, I dropped my phone on the garage floor and killed it. :grr:

[Atlas Mugged]

18. A dZi bead.

I need a major mojo overhaul, and a dZi bead is the next best thing to a private tea party with Jesus.

21. I helped my son purchase

a book on how to make millions of gold pieces on the online game "Runescape." :D

[prozacnation]

22. A pet scale

I have to weigh my foster kittens on a daily basis. I decided to splurge on a better quality vet scale.

[mopinko]

23. buy on ebay all the time

looking at a new printer right now. buy my toner and stuff all the time. save a TTTOOOONNN of money.

[Catchawave]

26. I use eBay for my collectibles.....

...it's a "sport" to me! With eBay savvy, this can be and extension of one's garage and antique hunt hobbyies too. I love the hunt, but usually find better deals with trusted eBay sellers, which I always find.

Probably why eBay gets such a bum rap in the MSM !

[mopinko]

29. i've only been burned once

and that seller was kicked off by the time i figured it out. i love it.

[Catchawave]

35. Me too....and I'll never forget it....

...it was a vintage Star Wars character, I believe it was a Munthra mint in the box... (sp?)...the seller ran on hard times despite his high ratings, and, long story short and the bottom line, I lost $45. Only because I wasn't pissed enough to ask him for an immediate Pay Pal refund, and I blame my compassionate liberalism for that....LOL. I certainly could have gotten my money back, but this was a case, I was trying to be patient for a stranger's hard times...never again!

[Dastard Stepchild]

25. Shoes...

I can get some great, really cheap shoes online.

[William Bloode]

28. Organic hydroponic nutrients.

Saved a bundle, and did not have to drive 40m to the closest hydroponics store.

[LynneSin]

34. Polar A5 Heart Monitor from Sears

It was the watch I wanted and Sears online had the best price. Plus I could use my Sears card which has the lower APR on it (although I'll try to pay it all off at one time - I needed one but didn't have the extra cash to use my debit card. I won't use regular credit cards for online purchases)

i shop online a lot, too. we live 90 minutes from good shopping, so it's easier to just do it online, late at night after the kids are in bed when i can think.

66. I had to shop around for the best shipping price just last week,

I was ordering a child swing for my granddaughter's BD. I'd been to about 8 stores and called several more and they were out. I ended up ordering directly from the company..step 2.

The swing cost $30 ..but the shipping at two other places was ridiculous. One charged a flat fee plus an addition .90 per pound..around $14 total..the other..a big toy store..charge $23.99 to ship it!! Can you believe that..$23.99 to ship a $30 item..that weighs 8#'s. Step 2 charged $9.00 shipping a much better deal!
